PLanned ACtivity Details
Photos with Santa: take place in the Great Room in Lang Lodge, away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the event. Sit with Santa in front of a forest of lit trees and a classic, red canoe. Our professional photographer will be on hand to take your photo and you are welcome to snap your own as well. Photos will be posted to an online album by the end of the following week!
S’mores and Hot Cocoa: we will have fires roaring right outside Lang Lodge on the patio. Grab a marshmallow and get it perfectly golden or slightly charred and enjoy a classic s’more–a summer favorite that goes great with the holidays too! Don’t forget to grab a cup of rich hot cocoa too.
Winter Craft: just a short walk from main festivities, the craftshop will be lit up with holiday lights and ready for your creative spirit. Each year, our staff pick a fun craft for families to enjoy with a holiday theme. We make sure that it’s a quick project that can be enjoyed by all ages–but usually with a little help from their grown-ups.
Karaoke and Concessions: nothing says festive cheer like some classic, holiday songs on karaoke. Find a spot to sit and enjoy or step up and belt out a song of your own. Nearby, a full menu of concessions will be available for purchase for an extra snack or even a meal during your visit.
Storybook Reading: tucked away in our Health and Leadership Lodge is a sun porch with a beautiful tree and comfortable seating. Need a break from the energy of the main event? We will have holiday storybooks out for families to relax and read.
